Propagaiing By Layers.

A layer is only a cutting that al
lowed to remain attached to the par
ent plant until it has produced roots
through which it may collect sus
tenance for self-support. Various
methods are employed to produce this
result such as ringing, girdling, twist
ing, tonguing, or partly dividing that
portion OF the stem or branch on
which it is desired that roots shall be
formed. All these distortions Of the
stems or branches of the plant layer
ed are for one object, that is, to check
the downward flow of sap. Roots then
become necessary for supplying sus-
tenance to the cutting, or layer, and
are consequently formed. The most
common method of preparing layers
is that of making tongue on the un-
der the side of the branch. The opera
ton is performed thus: Make an in.
cision in the branch or part of the
plant to be layered, jus. below a bud,
cutting through the bark and into
the branch to the depth of one-quarter
to one half its diameter; then pass tie
knife upward for an inch or more, &C.
cording to the size and nature of the
plant being layered, splitting the
branch lengthwise, forming the
tongue. The branch is then bent
down and fastened in place by means
of a hooked peg, and the end tied up
to a stake. That part on which the
incision is made is covered with soil
or other materials that will exclude
it from light air, while at the same
time keeping it moist, thus aiding the
development of roots. In making
layers of certain kinds of small her.
baceous plants slender vines, it will
not be necessary to use pegs or stakes
to hold the layer in place; but with
larger plants they are usually needed
for keeping the layered branch steady
in one position while the new roots
are being mitted.-American Agricul-
turist.
